Question:
I have an old Thule Th898 Hullivator. I got Thule Evo Wingbars to fit with Hullivator in them but need another part. People keep talking about T bolts but I don’t know what size to get to fit inside of Wingbar and I don’t understand how it stays put/doesn’t slide. Please advise. Seems like I’d need 4. Plus do I needs a mounting track if some kind to hold in place? I’d prefer not to use external wrap around mounting brackets for the Hullivator on Evi Wingbars had to tighten a lot at mount and externally on sides with previous rack.
